The length of a rectangle is 10 yd less than three times the width, and the area of the rectangle is 77 yd^2. Find the dimensions of the rectangle.

Answers

Answer:

W=7 and L=11

Step-by-step explanation:

We have two unknowns so we must create two equations.

First the problem states that  length of a rectangle is 10 yd less than three times the width so: L= 3w-10

Next we are given the area so: L X W = 77

Then solve for the variable algebraically. It is just a system of equations.

3W^2 - 10W - 77 = 0

(3W + 11)(W - 7) = 0

W = -11/3 and/or W=7

Discard the negative solution as the width of the rectangle cannot be less then 0.

So W=7

Plug that into the first equation.

3(7)-10= 11 so L=11

An electrician charges a fee of $40 plus $25 per hour. Let y be the cost in dollars of using the electrician for x hours. Choose the correct equation.

y = 40x - 25


y = 25x + 40


y = 25x - 40


y = 40x + 25

Answers

Answer:

y = 25x + 40

Step-by-step explanation:

The electrician charges $25 per hour.

The number of hours is x.

Therefore after x hours the electrician will charge $25x. (multiply the charge by the number of hours $25 * x)

Therefore fee(y) charged by the electrician = $40 + $25x

Hence y = 25x + 40

Solve the system of equations.

Answers

Answer:

y=-1/7x + 12/7

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by finding the slope

m=(1-0)/(-5-2)

m=-1/7

next plug the slope and the point (-5,1) into point slope formula

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y1=1

x1= -5

m=-1/7

y- 1 = -1/7(x - -5)

y-1=-1/7(x+5)

Distribute -1/7 first

y- 1=-1/7x + 5/7

Add 1 on both sides, but since its a fraction add 7/7

y=-1/7x + (5/7+7/7)

y=-1/7x+12/7

y = -1/7x + 2/7

A company wants to decrease their energy use by 17%. If their electric bill is currently $2500 a month, what will their bill be if they are successful

Answers

We need to find out how much 17 percent of 2,500 is, and then subtract that amount by 2,500. We can use proportions to use this. We can set up a fraction with x/2500 and another fraction with 17/100. Then, we need to cross multiply. This gives us 42,500. Next, we can divide by 100. This gives us 425. We know that they will save $425 if they decrease their energy use by 17%. We now need to subtract $425 from $2,500. This gives us $2,075. If the company is successful in decreasing their energy use by 17%, their bill would be $2,075.

The time it takes me to wash the dishes is uniformly distributed between 8 minutes and 17 minutes.

What is the probability that washing dishes tonight will take me between 14 and 16 minutes?

Give your answer accurate to two decimal places.

Answers

The time it takes to wash has the probability density function,

[tex]P(X=x) = \begin{cases}\frac1{17-8}=\frac19&\text{for }8\le x\le 17\\0&\text{otherewise}\end{cases}[/tex]

The probability that it takes between 14 and 16 minutes to wash the dishes is given by the integral,

[tex]\displaystyle\int_{14}^{16}P(X=x)\,\mathrm dx = \frac19\int_{14}^{16}\mathrm dx = \frac{16-14}9 = \frac29 \approx \boxed{0.22}[/tex]

If you're not familiar with calculus, the probability is equal to the area under the graph of P(X = x), which is a rectangle with height 1/9 and length 16 - 14 = 2, so the area and hence probability is 2/9 ≈ 0.22.

Determine whether each relation is a function. Give the domain and range for each relation.
{(3, 4), (3, 5), (4, 4), (4, 5)}

Answers

Answer:

Not a function

Domain: {3,4}

Range: {4,5}

Step-by-step explanation:

A function is a relation where each input has its own output. In other words if the x value has multiple corresponding y values then the relation is not a function

For the relation given {(3, 4), (3, 5), (4, 4), (4, 5)} the x value 3 and 4 have more than one corresponding y value therefore the relation shown is not a function

Now let's find the domain and range.

Domain is the set of x values in a relation.

The x values of the given relation are 3 and 4 so the domain is {3,4}

The range is the set of y values in a relation

The y value of the given relation include 4 and 5

So the range would be {4,5}

Notes:

The values of x and y should be written from least to greatest when writing them out as domain and range.

They should be written inside of brackets

Do not repeat numbers when writing the domain and range

use induction method to prove that 1.2^2+2.3^2+3.4^2+...+r(r+1)^2= n(n+1)(3n^2+11n+10)/12

Answers

Base case (n = 1):

• left side = 1×2² = 4

• right side = 1×(1 + 1)×(3×1² + 11×1 + 10)/12 = 4

Induction hypothesis: Assume equality holds for n = k, so that

1×2² + 2×3² + 3×4² + … + k × (k + 1)² = k × (k + 1) × (3k ² + 11k + 10)/12

Induction step (n = k + 1):

1×2² + 2×3² + 3×4² + … + k × (k + 1)² + (k + 1) × (k + 2)²

= k × (k + 1) × (3k ² + 11k + 10)/12 + (k + 1) × (k + 2)²

= (k + 1)/12 × (k × (3k ² + 11k + 10) + 12 × (k + 2)²)

= (k + 1)/12 × ((3k ³ + 11k ² + 10k) + 12 × (k ² + 4k + 4))

= (k + 1)/12 × (3k ³ + 23k ² + 58k + 48)

= (k + 1)/12 × (3k ³ + 23k ² + 58k + 48)

On the right side, we want to end up with

(k + 1) × (k + 2) × (3 (k + 1) ² + 11 (k + 1) + 10)/12

which suggests that k + 2 should be factor of the cubic. Indeed, we have

3k ³ + 23k ² + 58k + 48 = (k + 2) (3k ² + 17k + 24)

and we can rewrite the remaining quadratic as

3k ² + 17k + 24 = 3 (k + 1)² + 11 (k + 1) + 10

so we would arrive at the desired conclusion.

To see how the above rewriting is possible, we want to find coefficients a, b, and c such that

3k ² + 17k + 24 = a (k + 1)² + b (k + 1) + c

Expand the right side and collect like powers of k :

3k ² + 17k + 24 = ak ² + (2a + b) k + a + b + c

==>   a = 3   and   2a + b = 17   and   a + b + c = 24

==>   a = 3, b = 11, c = 10

A capark has 34 rows and each row can acommodate 40 cars. If there are 976 cars parked, how many cars can still be parked?​

Answers

Answer:

384 cars

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the total number of spaces in the carpark, we must multiply the number of rows by how many cars they can accommodate:

34 ⋅ 40 = 1360

As you can see, we have 1360 total spaces. Since there are 976 cars parked, and we want to find out how many spaces are left, we have to subtract the amount of cars parked from the total spaces.

1360 - 976 = 384

Therefore, our answer is 384, specifically, 384 cars.

Answer:

384 cars.

Step-by-step explanation:

40 * 34 - 976

Identify the slope and y intercept of the line with equation 2y = 5x + 4

Answers

Answer:

Slope is 5/2

y-intercept is 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Turn the equation into slope intercept form [ y = mx +  b ].

2y = 5x + 4

~Divide everything by 2

y = 5/2x + 2

Remember that in slope intercept form, m = slope and b = y-intercept.

Best of Luck!

Answer:

slope: 2.5

y-intercept: 2

Step-by-step explanation:

First isolate the y variable which changes the equation to y=2.5x+2

The equation of a line is mx + b where m is the slope and b and the

y-intercept. Leading us to conclude that 2.5 is the slope and 2 is the y-intercept.

g A gift shop sells 40 wind chimes per month at $110 each. The owners estimate that for each $11 increase in price, they will sell 2 fewer wind chimes per month. Find the price per wind chime that will maximize revenue.

Answers

Answer:

The price that maximizes the revenue is $165

Step-by-step explanation:

We can model the price as a function of sold units as a linear relationship.

Remember that a linear relationship is something like:

y = a*x + b

where a is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

We know that if the line passes through the points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂), then the slope can be written as:

a = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

For this line, we have the point (40, $110)

which means that to sell 40 units, the price must be $110

And we know that if the price increases by $11, then he will sell 2 units less.

Then we also have the point (38, $121)

So we know that our line passes through the points (40, $110) and  (38, $121)

Then the slope of the line is:

a = ($121 - $110)/(38 - 40) = $11/-2 = -$5.5

Then the equation of the line is:

p(x) = -$5.5*x + b

to find the value of b, we can use the point (40, $110)

This means that when x = 40, the price is $110

then:

p(40) = $110 = -$5.5*40 + b

            $110 = -$220 + b

       $110 + $220 = b

        $330 = b

Then the price equation is:

p(x) = -$5.5*x + $330

Now we want to find the maximum revenue.

The revenue for selling x items, each at the price p(x), is:

revenue = x*p(x)

replacing the p(x) by the equation we get:

revenue = x*(-$5.5*x + $330)

revenue = -$5.5*x^2 + $330*x

Now we want to find the x-value for the maximum revenue.

You can see that the revenue equation is a quadratic equation with a negative leading coefficient. This means that the maximum is at the vertex.

And remember that for a quadratic equation like:

y = a*x^2 + b*x + c

the x-value of the vertex is:

x = -b/2a

Then for our equation:

revenue = -$5.5*x^2 + $330*x

the x-vale of the vertex will be:

x = -$330/(2*-$5.5) = 30

x = 30

This means that the revenue is maximized when we sell 30 units.

And the price is p(x) evaluated in x = 30

p(30) = -$5.5*30 + $330 = $165

The price that maximizes the revenue is $165

Based on what we have learned, how can we ensure that we choose a sample of students that is representative of all 8:00 AM classes that take place on a given morning

Answers

Sampling technique is a way of selecting a sample from a given population. The best way to get a sample of students that represents all 8:00 AM classes is by using a stratified sampling technique.

From the complete question, we can summarize the given data as follows:

[tex]Buildings = 3[/tex] ----3 buildings in the college

[tex]Lecture\ Halls =2[/tex]  ---- 2 lecture halls in each building

[tex]Capacity = 100[/tex] --- 100 students in each lecture hall

Because the students' lecture halls are not in the same building, the best way to get a sample is as follows:

Divide the students into groups (In this case, the students will be grouped by the buildings of their lecture halls)

The number of students in each building is:

[tex]Students = Capacity \times Lecture\ Halls[/tex]

[tex]Students = 100 \times 2[/tex]

[tex]Students = 200[/tex]

There are 200 students in each building

Then select at random an equal proportion of student from each building (say 30 students in each building)

The above method is referred to as a stratified sampling technique because the population of the students are divided into groups, before being randomly selected.

You're looking for a solution of the form

[tex]\displaystyle y'' = \sum_{n=0}^\infty n(n-1) a_n x^{n-2} = \sum_{n=0}^\infty (n+1)(n+2) a_{n+2} x^n[/tex]

Substitute these series into the DE:

[tex]\displaystyle (x-1) \sum_{n=0}^\infty (n+1)(n+2) a_{n+2} x^n - x \sum_{n=0}^\infty (n+1) a_{n+1} x^n + \sum_{n=0}^\infty a_n x^n = 0[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle \sum_{n=0}^\infty (n+1)(n+2) a_{n+2} x^{n+1} - \sum_{n=0}^\infty (n+1)(n+2) a_{n+2} x^n \\\\ \ldots \ldots \ldots - \sum_{n=0}^\infty (n+1) a_{n+1} x^{n+1} + \sum_{n=0}^\infty a_n x^n = 0[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle \sum_{n=1}^\infty n(n+1) a_{n+1} x^n - \sum_{n=0}^\infty (n+1)(n+2) a_{n+2} x^n \\\\ \ldots \ldots \ldots - \sum_{n=1}^\infty n a_n x^n + \sum_{n=0}^\infty a_n x^n = 0[/tex]

Two of these series start with a linear term, while the other two start with a constant. Remove the constant terms of the latter two series, then condense the remaining series into one:

[tex]\displaystyle a_0-2a_2 + \sum_{n=1}^\infty \bigg(n(n+1)a_{n+1}-(n+1)(n+2)a_{n+2}-na_n+a_n\bigg) x^n = 0[/tex]

which indicates that the coefficients in the series solution are governed by the recurrence,

[tex]\begin{cases}y(0)=a_0 = -7\\y'(0)=a_1 = 3\\(n+1)(n+2)a_{n+2}-n(n+1)a_{n+1}+(n-1)a_n=0&\text{for }n\ge0\end{cases}[/tex]

Use the recurrence to get the first few coefficients:

[tex]\{a_n\}_{n\ge0} = \left\{-7,3,-\dfrac72,-\dfrac76,-\dfrac7{24},-\dfrac7{120},\ldots\right\}[/tex]

You might recognize that each coefficient in the n-th position of the list (starting at n = 0) involving a factor of -7 has a denominator resembling a factorial. Indeed,

-7 = -7/0!

-7/2 = -7/2!

-7/6 = -7/3!

and so on, with only the coefficient in the n = 1 position being the odd one out. So we have

[tex]\displaystyle y = \sum_{n=0}^\infty a_n x^n \\\\ y = -\frac7{0!} + 3x - \frac7{2!}x^2 - \frac7{3!}x^3 - \frac7{4!}x^4 + \cdots[/tex]

which looks a lot like the power series expansion for -7.

Fortunately, we can rewrite the linear term as

3x = 10x - 7x = 10x - 7/1! x

and in doing so, we can condense this solution to

[tex]\displaystyle y = 10x -\frac7{0!} - \frac7{1!}x - \frac7{2!}x^2 - \frac7{3!}x^3 - \frac7{4!}x^4 + \cdots \\\\ \boxed{y = 10x - 7e^x}[/tex]

Just to confirm this solution is valid: we have

y = 10x - 7   ==>   y (0) = 0 - 7 = -7

y' = 10 - 7   ==>   y' (0) = 10 - 7 = 3

y'' = -7

and substituting into the DE gives

-7 (x - 1) - x (10 - 7) + (10x - 7 ) = 0

as required.

4) The measure of the linear density at a point of a rod varies directly as the third power of the measure of the distance of the point from one end. The length of the rod is 4 ft and the linear density is 2 slugs/ft at the center, find the total mass of the given rod and the center of the mass​

Answers

Answer:

a. 16 slug b. 3.2 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Total mass of the rod

Since the linear density at a point of the rod,λ varies directly as the third power of the measure of the distance of the point form the end, x

So, λ ∝ x³

λ = kx³

Since the linear density λ = 2 slug/ft at then center when x = L/2 where L is the length of the rod,

k = λ/x³ = λ/(L/2)³ = 8λ/L³

substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

k = 8λ/L³

k = 8 × 2/4³

k = 16/64

k = 1/4

So, λ = kx³ = x³/4

The mass of a small length element of the rod dx is dm = λdx

So, to find the total mass of the rod M = ∫dm = ∫λdx we integrate from x = 0 to x = L = 4 ft

M = ∫₀⁴dm

= ∫₀⁴λdx

= ∫₀⁴(x³/4)dx

= (1/4)∫₀⁴x³dx

= (1/4)[x⁴/4]₀⁴

= (1/16)[4⁴ - 0⁴]

= (256 - 0)/16

= 256/16

= 16 slug

b. The center of mass of the rod

Let x be the distance of the small mass element dm = λdx from the end of the rod. The moment of this mass element about the end of the rod is xdm =  λxdx = (x³/4)xdx = (x⁴/4)dx.

We integrate this through the length of the rod. That is from x = 0 to x = L = 4 ft

The center of mass of the rod x' = ∫₀⁴(x⁴/4)dx/M where M = mass of rod

= (1/4)∫₀⁴x⁴dx/M

= (1/4)[x⁵/5]₀⁴/M

= (1/20)[x⁵]₀⁴/M

= (1/20)[4⁵ - 0⁵]/M

= (1/20)[1024 - 0]/M

= (1/20)[1024]/M

Since M = 16, we have

Working at home: According to the U.S Census Bureau, 41% of men who worked at home were college graduates. In a sample of 506 women who worked at home, 166 were college graduates. Part: 0 / 30 of 3 Parts Complete Part 1 of 3 (a) Find a point estimate for the proportion of college graduates among women who work at home. Round the answer to at least three decimal places. The point estimate for the proportion of college graduates among women who work at home is .

Answers

Solution :

a). The point estimate of proportion of college graduates among women who work at home,

[tex]$\hat p =\frac{166}{506}$[/tex]

  = 0.3281

99.5% confidence interval

[tex]$=\left( \hat p \pm Z_{0.005/2} \sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1- \hat p)}{n}} \right)$[/tex]

[tex]$=\left( 0.3281 \pm 2.81 \sqrt{\frac{0.3281 \times (1- 0.3281)}{506}} \right)$[/tex]

[tex]$=(0.3281 \pm 0.0586)$[/tex]

a) Everyone on the team talks until the entire team agrees on one decision. O b) Everyone on the team discusses options and then votes. O c) The team passes the decision-making responsibility to an outside person. O di The team leader makes a decision without input from the other members.

Answers

Answer:

a) Everyone on the team talks until the entire team agrees on one decision.

Step-by-step explanation:

Option B consists of voting and not everyone would like the outcome. Option C is making an outsider the decision maker, which can't be helpful since he / she won't have as strong opinions as the team itself. Option D is just plain wrong as it defeats the purpose of team work and deciding as one team. So, I believe option A makes the most sense

On Halloween, a man presents a child with a bowl containing eight different pieces of candy. He tells her that she may have three pieces. How many choices does she have

Answers

Answer:

[tex]56[/tex] choices

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that we'll have to solve this problem with a permutation or a combination, but which one do we use? The answer is a combination because the order in which the child picks the candy does not matter.

To further demonstrate this, imagine I have 4 pieces of candy labeled A, B, C, and D. I could choose A, then C, then B or I could choose C, then B, then A, but in the end, I still have the same pieces, regardless of what order I pick them in. I hope that helps to understand why this problem will be solved with a combination.

Anyways, back to the solving! Remember that the combination formula is

[tex]_nC_r=\frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}[/tex], where n is the number of objects in the sample (the number of objects you choose from) and r is the number of objects that are to be chosen.

In this case, [tex]n=8[/tex] and [tex]r=3[/tex]. Substituting these values into the formula gives us:

[tex]_8C_3=\frac{8!}{3!5!}[/tex]

[tex]= \frac{8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1}{3*2*1*5*4*3*2*1}[/tex] (Expand the factorials)

[tex]=\frac{8*7*6}{3*2*1}[/tex] (Cancel out [tex]5*4*3*2*1[/tex])

[tex]=\frac{8*7*6}{6}[/tex] (Evaluate denominator)

[tex]=8*7[/tex] (Cancel out [tex]6[/tex])

[tex]=56[/tex]

Therefore, the child has [tex]\bf56[/tex] different ways to pick the candies. Hope this helps!

A chemical company makes two brands of antifreeze. The first brand is

55%

pure antifreeze, and the second brand is

80%

pure antifreeze. In order to obtain

130

gallons of a mixture that contains

70%

pure antifreeze, how many gallons of each brand of antifreeze must be used?

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

52 gallons of 55%78 gallons of 80%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the quantity of 80% solution. Then the quantity of 55% solution is (130-x) and the total amount of antifreeze in the mix is ...

  0.55(130 -x) +0.80(x) = 0.70(130)

  0.25x +71.5 = 91 . . . simplify

  0.25x = 19.5 . . . . . . subtract 71.5

  x = 78 . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 0.25; amount of 80%

  130-78 = 52 . . . . amount of 55%

52 gallons of the 55% brand, and 78 gallons of the 80% brand must be used.
